If high-quality forage is fed and the recommended minimum feeding rate cannot be met, either:
1. Add 1 lb of GRO ‘N WIN™ or GRO ‘N WIN™ Alfa per day for every 3 lb of GROWTH underfed, depending on forage type.
2. Supply GRASS PLUS™ Mineral & Vitamin Mix (with grass or mixed forage) or ALFA PLUS™ Mineral & Vitamin Mix (with legume forage).
Directions
For Broodmares:
- Growth helps to maintain healthy and steady glucose and insulin levels in mares during pregnancy and lactation
- Growth aids in supporting proper metabolism in nursing foals with reduced levels of starch and sugar
For Growing Horses:
- Growth helps promote steady growth using a combination of fat and carbohydrates for calories
- Growth supports consistent glucose and insulin levels, helping to support healthy metabolism
- Growth includes ideal concentrations of the amino acids lysine, methionine and threonine necessary to support a healthy growth rate
